• 0:04
  What's up y'all and welcome back to Danny to talk, I'm your host,
• 0:08
  Robert. And today we're going to be
• 0:10
  talking about a webtoon called a man's man.
• 0:16
  Now this series is it like I said it's a webtoon so it is
• 0:22
  currently available for free on either the webtoon website or
• 0:26
  the webtoon app that you can get on your mobile device.
• 0:30
  And so yeah. So pretty much this series
• 0:33
  follows our main character which are probably butcher his name
• 0:37
  but you Yeon who becomes the youngest CEO and the company
• 0:43
  history. But It wasn't a pretty road to
• 0:49
  get to that position. And so, After something tragic
• 0:55
  happens to a colleague, he has a going on, just like this.
• 0:59
  Like Bend you're just drinking all night reflecting on things
• 1:06
  and then when he wakes up the next morning, he is 20 years in
• 1:11
  the past and his younger body basically and the lead up to, to
• 1:18
  him joining the company. And that is kind of the main
• 1:21
  focus of this series. So All our main character, like
• 1:26
  I said, from pretty much from a little bit before he joins
• 1:31
  through, you know, going forward as so, you know, there's no
• 1:37
  super natural powers and all this stuff, whatever that's
• 1:41
  going on. It is pretty it's a pretty
• 1:43
  grounded series and the company he works at is a tech company
• 1:50
  and the timeframe this is basically like round like the
• 1:54
  Early 2000's basically in the lead up to the big smartphone.
• 1:59
  Boom, as so a lot of there's a lot of references for people of
• 2:06
  my generation who, you know, because I'm a mom.
• 2:09
  I'm in my early 30s and so, and I also work in it.
• 2:12
  So this kind of like, double caught my interest and so which,
• 2:19
  which I got to give a shout out to Deb Aoki on Twitter because
• 2:24
  She is the one that put it on my radar a few days ago.
• 2:28
  And I've been read the whole thing over the weekend or
• 2:30
  everything that is currently, they touch to say because there
• 2:33
  is sixty seven chapters available for free.
• 2:36
  But I enjoyed it so much. I spent a few bucks and fast
• 2:40
  passed to the next five chapter. So, I'm currently, as of the
• 2:44
  time of this coming out, I'm currently up to chapter 72.
• 2:48
  So, so, yeah, so like I said, what the timeframe, whatever
• 2:52
  with it being like around, like the time, I'm of smart phones
• 2:55
  and stuff being developer about to come into fruition.
• 2:59
  We kind of get to see our main character in twofold, kind of
• 3:05
  like, get to correct some of his past regrets and things of that
• 3:11
  nature, but also help his company and his core team that
• 3:15
  he is on, because the team that he's on within the company, I
• 3:21
  believe it's the, it's like, it's like a planning team.
• 3:24
  It's a lot of other teams in the company, kind of.
• 3:27
  See them as like, bottom of the barrel, their job is to kind of
• 3:32
  like help everybody else with their work, but that's not,
• 3:35
  that's not how it's supposed to be.
• 3:36
  But that's kind of how things have devolved over time.
• 3:41
  And so, one thing that I like that, I really enjoy about the
• 3:45
  series is kind of like The Core theme that comes up multiple
• 3:50
  times because you're seeing the main character constantly say,
• 3:53
  you know. No, I have my people and the
• 3:56
  dope thing about that because like I said in the past or in in
• 4:01
  in the previous timeline, leading up to him become a CEO,
• 4:06
  you know he neglected his wife, he turned his back on his sister
• 4:11
  who was in a very abusive relationship that didn't end
• 4:15
  well when she needed him the most and lots of friends and
• 4:21
  colleagues along the way. He kind of Through to the right
• 4:24
  side or he didn't treasure those bars in those relationships.
• 4:28
  And so now, with him also, having the 20 years of knowledge
• 4:34
  in the company, going back is kind of his chance to kind of
• 4:38
  like redeem himself and correct. Some of these things along the
• 4:42
  way. And one of the characters that I
• 4:46
  have that, I really enjoy a lot, is his basically, it's the
• 4:52
  assistant manager of his team. Who is his mentor that takes on
• 4:56
  the role of kind of like trying to teach and train him and he
• 5:02
  the main character, make sure to stay loyal and supportive of his
• 5:07
  mentor because he remembers previously, you know, he kind of
• 5:12
  got done dirty and ended up being, you know, leaving the
• 5:16
  company, whatever. And speaking of which, like his
• 5:20
  core little team that he's on, after a couple of years of him
• 5:23
  joining, They end up dissolving and a lot of them are no longer
• 5:28
  with the company. So this is kind of Kiss chance
• 5:30
  to kind of like rally his team together and I enjoyed that I've
• 5:35
  been enjoying that journey of seeing him slowly awaken the
• 5:41
  different members of his team from his mentor to the actual
• 5:45
  team lead and you know everybody along the way but of course
• 5:52
  Through this series or whatever and what they've been a tech
• 5:55
  company and stuff. There's also a lot of corporate
• 5:58
  politics along the way and so a dope thing that I enjoy seeing
• 6:03
  over and over is just like him, mentally, navigating his way
• 6:09
  through different conversations through various situations.
• 6:13
  Because of course, like I said, that this is a more grounded
• 6:16
  Series so you're not going to be dealing with a lot of like, you
• 6:18
  know, oh they settle this with their fists and stuff.
• 6:22
  I'm not saying that. There isn't any, you know,
• 6:24
  fighting in action and stuff, but that's not the Crux of it.
• 6:29
  But I will say, you know, he does end up getting it to boxing
• 6:35
  and stuff. Whatever.
• 6:36
  As a way to both keep himself in shape, but also kind of help
• 6:40
  deal with a situation that he knows is coming from, you know,
• 6:45
  his his previous life that he lived.
• 6:49
  But um, but yeah, like I said Helm, you know I enjoy that.
• 6:56
  He is taking this chance to kind of like be kind to other people
• 7:02
  and that kindness comes back to him tenfold because prime
• 7:05
  example, is he ended up helping out one of the custodian ladies
• 7:12
  or people that was like, tried to refill the giant like water
• 7:16
  jugs in the break room and everybody says, drop it and hurt
• 7:18
  themselves, he saves them. And then from that point forward
• 7:21
  and he's, you know, he keeps in contact with them, he checks on
• 7:25
  That group because a lot of times and we all know that was
• 7:27
  like custodian staff janitors and stuff like that or whatever,
• 7:31
  lots of the companies, they don't get the attention and
• 7:35
  recognition that they deserve for all the hard work that they
• 7:37
  do behind the scenes, keeping things clean and going.
• 7:41
  And so he does it. He keeps up with them, he makes
• 7:44
  sure that they're good. And so there was a situation
• 7:48
  later on where one of the latest was in area cleaning and they
• 7:53
  had she heard of that she overheard a - having a
• 7:55
  conversation that directly would have affected him.
• 7:59
  And so she comes back, she's like, hey I overheard executive
• 8:03
  so-and-so mentioned this and little things like that while
• 8:09
  yes he has some knowledge of certain things that happen but
• 8:14
  things eventually get to a point to where like the timeline
• 8:16
  branches and he ends up kind of starting to deal with more
• 8:20
  situations that he wasn't in previously.
• 8:24
  So I was like, okay. I so you know he has corporate
• 8:28
  knowledge but he still also need some help along the way to kind
• 8:32
  of like help me navigate. Some of these are corporate
• 8:35
  politics but but but I enjoy the mind games and stuff.
• 8:39
  I enjoy, you know. You know, him.
• 8:45
  Being courteous with people and stuff and kind of positioning
• 8:47
  himself and those around him for Success, both in the near
• 8:51
  future, as well as down the road because there was another guy
• 8:55
  that he met from college that, that kind of came to the
• 8:59
  company, whatever and was trying to get the attention, some of
• 9:01
  the executives. So it's coming back in from
• 9:03
  lunch but they was like dude. Get out of here we don't want
• 9:07
  whatever you're trying to pitch to us.
• 9:08
  Whatever. Be gone.
• 9:10
  Well the guys he seems like hey you remember me from college?
• 9:14
  And he remembers in the past. He turned him away so he brought
• 9:17
  her man, they set down. They talk for a minute or
• 9:19
  whatever and come to find out. This guy was from an
• 9:22
  up-and-coming other little tech company.
• 9:25
  That was working on some displays and some other stuff
• 9:29
  that would later be critical to a project that they were working
• 9:33
  on later on in the series and stuff.
• 9:36
  So, but but yeah, like I said, it is been a fun read over all.
• 9:40
  Like I said nothing super crazy the RS.
• 9:44
  Stuff is pretty solid as well in the series.
• 9:51
  The art is pretty solid. Like I said, I don't have any
• 9:53
  problems with it and stuff, oh, and another kind of funny thing
• 9:57
  to, of course, probably fly copyright reasons and stuff
• 10:01
  whatever. But like, if you know, you know,
• 10:04
  but a lot of like different tech companies that stuff or
• 10:06
  whatever, like Microsoft, they call macro soft like instead of
• 10:11
  like Samsung. This is handsome.
• 10:14
  Apple is still Apple, but it's got like two peas.
• 10:18
  So little stuff like that, whatever.
• 10:19
  I just felt kind of funny. Along the way, way above the
• 10:23
  overall. Like I said, it's been like a
• 10:24
  pretty solid and durable series to read.
• 10:29
  And like I said, I know some people were like, oh this is so
• 10:32
  slow whatever. But I feel like maybe it's
• 10:34
  because I got to binge read like 70 some chapters in a couple of
• 10:37
  days but I enjoyed it you know, because I don't know.
• 10:43
  Like I just enjoy that. We got a chance to kind of see
• 10:46
  the characters around him and like I said, it kind of get to
• 10:49
  see like them. Mental process.
• 10:51
  He goes through for navigating some of these situations that he
• 10:54
  finds himself in and I also like to kind of get to see like the
• 10:59
  older version of himself kind of talking to his younger self kind
• 11:02
  of being like okay. Hey how are we going to handle
• 11:05
  this situation now? And just kind of like that that
• 11:08
  Dynamic going on and stuff? So.
• 11:10
  But but yeah, like I said, it's like I said, if you have any
• 11:13
  interest in, like I said a series of little bit more Down
• 11:16
  to Earth, but also kind of goes through, Like I said, I cared to
• 11:21
  come against, like, try and try to correct mistakes of the past,
• 11:26
  but also going through this Tech, boom and stuff, whatever.
• 11:31
  Then then a man's man is, deaf, is something that I would highly
• 11:35
  recommend. Like I said, it is available all
• 11:38
  webtoon for free to read. So, yeah.
• 11:42
  So go check that out, and sign up before I go, I just got to
• 11:47
  mention also, I came across this other series.
• 11:50
  While I was looking for other people to talk to about a man's
• 11:52
  man, but another series called, freaking the tax Reaper.
• 11:57
  And yes, this is what you think it is.
• 11:59
  It is a webtoon about a guy who becomes a silver surges civil
• 12:04
  servant to go after people who are committing a tax fraud and
• 12:11
  tax evasion and stuff for or whatever like that, because it
• 12:14
  kind of basket starts out with like him been a, what's it
• 12:19
  called? A whistleblower?
• 12:20
  For an executive at the company, he was working at the time and
• 12:24
  he gets kicked out of the company and kind of ostracized
• 12:26
  from the industry. He was in and that's where he
• 12:30
  ends up going down, this route, whatever.
• 12:31
  So like I said, I've only read a few chapters of it or whatever,
• 12:34
  but it was kind of a silly but it based somewhat interesting
• 12:38
  read. Just because it's like, of
• 12:40
  course, they're there is a series of the for everything,
• 12:42
  but you have to text Reaper, Bob a new back to a management.
• 12:48
  Like I said, pretty solid read. Something that I recommend.
